Right now I'd say he's more likely to be Danny Tartabull.

Ha. Listen man, I'm just as excited about the Mahomes era as anyone and I think he's going to win us a Super Bowl at some point. But there are a lot of people on here who think he's a surefire HOF based off of one start. So again, I'll maintain that educated, rational takes aren't exactly a staple of CP.

FTR, I'm excited about Soler's start to the season as well. Definitely flashing the potential that GMDM saw in him.

Mahomes is going to be a major bust and will not be a starting quarterback after his rookie contract. You can take that to the bank and make copies.

But yeah, I’m loving this Soler performance.

I'll throw a $100 at that bet.

just who do you think they will start in his place? this team has never shown any brilliance in the QB selection. I also feel like Mahomes probably isn't the savior he's made out to be, but we'll see him starting for a couple of years regardless.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.... he has what 6 weeks of good numbers? Sometimes guys play good baseball for stretches. It is very encouraging, to be sure.

What do you hate all things KC?

how much you willing to put on that?

Huh? I don't hate anything KC

Just giving you shit

:rolleyes: Worst prediction ever.

Did you mean they will have a Major Bust of him in Canton once he wins us a few titles?

Who the **** are you?

Lost two out of three to the shitty Orioles. Back to tank mode.

2015 n00b of the year, who are you?

In fun, 100 dollars to the charity of the others choice.

Ok. You remember.

WTF? I made the bet first.

I will.

Nice win; making up ground on the Indians!

Awesome:D

Ill think about which charity. And ill let you out of it for 200 after year 2 if you want to end the idiocy

SAUTO’s like one of 2 people here who doesn’t hate me, and I didn’t see your post until just now.

Will bookmark for later.

Still bitter about the Super Bowl loss to Brady? Don’t worry, man. Time heals all wounds.

Wade Davis gave up a 2 run homer in the 9th at Coors to blow a save against the Brewers. He now has more blown saves than all of last year. It's just tough pitching in that altitude.

The most encouraging thing about Soler is the plate discipline. That’s a skill that stabilizes early and tends to hold up.

He may not hit much more than .270 over the course of the year, but .270/.370/.500 plays quite nicely.

I was surprised to see him go there. What was his contract? I assume they threw a bank vault at him.

He's been quite a pleasant surprise. Let's see if he can keep it up through the year.

3 years, 51 million.

The same contract they offered Greg Holland to come back, who turned it down at the advice of his agent, Boras. (whoops!)

3/52 I heard. Pretty amazing deal for such a dead offseason. Boras was a world class dumbass if he advised Holland to turn that down.

I haven't kept up closely with all the moves but what happened to Bonaficio ? I thought he was going to be a solid player for us.

Popped for roids

So, he's just suspended ?

Yup. For first half of season. He’ll be back in the second half.

Yep, half the season.


And Scott Boras hasn't exactly had what one would call a "banner year" if that is true about Holland.

Im tellin ya. He posted better numbers than Aaron Judge at the same age in AAA and AA.

He just needs to call it a career and come Flourish in the Frost offense. It's perfect for him.

Breaking news, Duffy still sucks.

This is so hard to watch with Duffy. He’s nowhere close to the same pitcher this year.

Duffy’s just gonna curl up in a ball and cry

He’s as tough as jello pudding

Duffy has to be hurt.

I called it. Stupid signing, just like Gordon.

I'm not right a ton, but I've been right on these 2 shit signings.

I didn't want Hosmer either.

and I DID want Zobrist, however I knew he was gone on his own.


Yes, this is a pat myself on the back post.

Really wish we would have traded him in the off-season

The 2018 Royals starting pitchers have given up 9+ runs in 3 different games in 1 week.

During the 1980s, Royals starters had given up 9+ runs in 3 different games in a full decade.

Well if Duffy didn't want to be traded he's done a good job of making sure that doesn't happen. We're making that beeline toward purgatory. You'll probably get a prospect for Herrera and maybe Moose if the Braves keep winning, but Duffy's probably the one guy we have who could get a real nice return and he's cratered his value.

I predict either a DL stint for Duffy soon or a surprise temporary move back to the bullpen.

Which one you putting your money on??

If he is hurt as Duncan said I would shelf him.

DL

I think we’ll have to wait til 2019 to trade Duffy.

this all started on that fateful summer night at the drive thru. god damnit duffy.

Get him some whiskey and see if that helps.

Friends don't let friends go to Burger King.

Duffy needs to lay off the porn. It's clearly affecting his play on the field

I think it's time to re-evaluate the porn policy.

Our veteran starters seem a little uptight lately. Think they need a release . . . .

@rustindodd: Duda to DL. Hunter Dozier is back.

I'd be more excited about Dozier if he were hitting in AAA. One HR, slugging .339. I worry about that hamate bone he fractured last year. That often saps power. Hopefully it eventually comes around.

Great news!

Gotta think he doesn't get many more opportunities

I’m on the opposite side of that feeling.

He’ll have numerous opportunities to fail given the limited depth in the organization.

What a cheesedick way to score a run.

I'm shocked that it was even legal. Seems he went pretty far out of the baseline to avoid the tag.

Exactly....how far away does the runner get to go?

Robinson Cano popped for PEDs. 80 Game vacation forthcoming...

Didn't he just break his hand, as well (allegedly)?

The Mariners are pretty much becoming the Cleveland Browns of the MLB.

Has Ryan Goins been released yet?

Not sure I can watch another game where he is a participant.

I get why Jose Bautista was screaming at him in Game 2 of the ALCS now. Although that was still Bautista's fault.

Yet another Royals pitcher shits the bed in the first inning.

For the Royals, it should be called the FIST inning.

Hammel is really soft. Reminds me of Hoe-Chaser when he was a starter. Pitches just bad enough to lose.

42 Games in (~25% of the season complete) and we have one starting pitcher (Jake Junis) under 4.98 ERA. ONE

:shake:

And if you're the Royals, how do you respond down by 3 runs? By Jon Jay being thrown out at 2B after tagging up at first on a fly ball to LF, with power-hitting Moose and Salvy up next.

Down 4-0 now. We're gonna get swept by these clowns at home.

Bases loaded, one out, Salvy up ... I think you know what happened next.

On the first ****ing pitch too. After a HBP and Walk

Bring on the losses!!!

Anyone know if there projects to be any decent talent at the top of the 2019 MLB draft? It would be nice to have a decent payoff in the form of a Lindor or Correa type or at least something better than trash like Starling.

Swept. This team is just bad.

Hammel is 0-5.

The Yanks are going to abuse these turds.
